Title: Method of and apparatus for converting continuous filament tow
IPC: D01H5/02
Filed: 1968-11-18
Abstract: 1,246,333. Stapling, mixing and cleaning fibres, Gill boxes. BURLINGTON INDUSTRIES Inc. 18 Nov., 1968 [28 Nov., 1967], No. 54650/68. Headings D1F and D1N. Continuous filament tow is converted into a sliver having uniform staple length fibres by (a) feeding at least two webs 10, 12 of tow from a supply source 8, (b) cutting the filaments into staple length fibres by cutter rollers 24, 26 (c) superimposing he webs to form a single web, (4) condensing the width of the webs at station A, and (5) feeding the webs to a gill station B. The gill station has faller bars which engage the web at a distance from the nip of the back draft means (which forwards the webs) at a distance shorter than the length of the cut staple fibres, the bars moving away from the nip at a speed faster than the linear speed of the web through the nip. The gill station also has a front draft means which forward the web at a speed faster than the speed of the web through the gill station. The sliver may then pass through a second condensing station F, and then through a second gill station G before passing around wedgeshaped rollers J, which serve to further condense the sliver, and thence into coiler K. A web of staple fibres W, e.g. wool fibres, may be blended into the sliver upstream of the back drafting rollers 46, 40, 41 of the first fill station. Waste is withdrawn from the web by suction heads attached to vacuum source V at the gilling stations. Each pair of cutter rollers 24, 26 may comprise a roller having a helical cutter element thereon which forms a nip with an anvil roller. One helical cutter roller is righthanded while the other helical cutter roller is left-handed so that when superimposed the single web has the diamond-shaped cutting pattern in plan elevation. The front pressure draft roller 72 of the second gill station has a concave surface so that an equal amount of pressure is distributed across the width of the web. Specification 1,246,334 is referred to.

Title: Pulse generating apparatus
IPC: G01F15/075
Filed: 1972-12-02
Abstract: 1402156 Fluid-flow measuring WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO Ltd 20 Nov 1973 [2 Dec 1972] 55784/72 Heading G1A [Also in Division G4] In apparatus which measures fluid-flow in a forward direction and emits electric pulses corresponding thereto, the effect of any periods of reverse flow is eliminated. Two counters 10, 11, Fig. 1, are provided which are both driven forwards when fluid-flow drives transducer 1 in the forward direction; as long as this happens, the two counter outputs are equal and a comparator 14 drives a bi-stable 16 to maintain AND gate 12 open so that output pulses can be taken on line 20 representing flow. If flow reverses, counter 10 ceases to count as described below, so that the bi-stable changes state and AND gate 12 closes to prevent output pulses. When flow in the forward direction resumes counter 11 stops, and no output pulses are obtained until counter 10 has caught up with counter 11; at that point the bistable switches state, AND gate 12 opens, and the two counters continue to count. The period of reverse flow is eliminated, and the net forward flow is measured. The transducer 1 has a GaAs source and two photo-transistors separated by a chopper; it gives two phase separated outputs to drive Schmitt triggers 5, 6 whose outputs are shown at Figs. 2(a), 2(b) respectively. The trigger outputs are connected to gates 7, 8, the latter via inverter 9. The gate outputs pass to counter 10, AND gate 12, OR gates 13, 18, counter 11, and bi-stable 16 via inverter 19. In normal forward operation the phasing of the Schmitt triggers is such that gate 8 remains closed, and gate 7 drives counter 10 and, via gates 12 and 13, counter 11. In reverse flow the phasing reverses so that gate 7 ceases to drive counter 10 but gate 8 drives counter 11 forwards via gate 13. When forward flow restarts, the phasing reverts to its initial state and gate 8 cannot drive counter 11; also AND gate 12 now prevents gate 7 driving counter 11 until counter 10 reaches the same count. When that happens the bi-stable is reset and normal forward counting occurs.

Abstract: 1,187,565. Gunn effect devices. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORP. 21 March, 1967 [8 Feb., 1966], No. 59216/69. Divided out of 1,187,563. Heading H1K. A Gunn effect oscillator comprises means to divert current from the surface region between anode and cathode; this avoids a tendency for the current to be affected by traps in the surface. This may be achieved by depositing an oxide insulating layer over the Gunn material, anode and cathode, and covering with a conducting material (e.g. P-type material) which is appropriately biased to urge the current away from the surface. In Fig. 5, lower electrode N and upper electrode P separated from Gunn material M by insulating layers I are biased to urge current away from both surfaces of M. The bias may be sufficient to affect the Gunn current density. A reverse biased metal-semi-conductor rectifying junction or a PN junction may be utilized for the same purpose. The Gunn material may consist of cadmium telluride, gallium arsenide or indium phosphide, and aluminium is suitable for the electrode.
